Yes,  you can occasionally tweak the bus speed.  When the AT came
out I replaced the 286 with an 8 MHz version and ran it at 10 MHz.
All was "well" (not counting occasional problems;  in which case 
I had to "fall back" to 8 MHz.  Unfortunately I don't have any
experience doing this on newer PC's;  the performance gain vs.
chip physical limits that are attained per unit of personal physical
labor make it too expensive.  It's cheaper to go out and buy a new
faster motherboard.
